the volvo forums swedespeed and matthews swear that p cars had terribly unreliable transmissions the numbers show higher failures than other years mine has been fine i bought the car from the first owners who might as well be aircraft mechanics the car was babied though it has seen mph on the autobahn it was a swedenbuilt european delivery i had the original tranny fluid changed to red line synthetic at k miles engine runs mobil full synthetic i hope that the transmission lasts until k so far currently i have a stage tune on it with uprated turbo intake exhaust and r injectors the drivers seat dyno says it is as powerful as my r which was bhp at max boost my friends xc polestar with bhp is far faster
